Connect from the station to your doorstep. Discover the "F" routes and how to claim your free transfer within 30 minutes!

By Sheikh Suleman Updated March 2026

Feeder buses are dedicated RTA services (identifiable by their "F" prefix) designed to bridge the gap between metro stations and residential neighborhoods. For most commuters, these buses provide the essential "last mile" connectivity to work or home.

How to Get a Free Transfer?

Transfers between the Metro and a Feeder Bus are FREE if they occur within 30 minutes of tapping out at the metro station. You must use the same Nol card for both journeys.

Frequencies & Timings 2026?

Feeder buses are synchronized with the Metro arrival times to minimize waiting. However, frequencies vary based on the time of day:

Time Period	Average Interval
Peak Hours (7AM - 9AM \| 5PM - 7PM)	7 - 15 Minutes
Off-Peak Hours (Morning / Evening)	18 - 30 Minutes
Late Night (After 11PM)	25 - 40 Minutes

Commuter Rule!

Remember to tap your Nol card at the entrance AND exit of the bus. If you forget to tap out on the bus, the system will charge you the maximum fare for that route, and you will lose your free transfer eligibility!
